Naa Adaiagba, Gbese Noryaa Manye I (Development Queen mother) of Gbese, at Ga-Mashie in the Greater Accra Region has distributed assorted playing items to children living at Adjen-Kotoku, a suburb of Accra.
According to Naa Adaiagba, the purpose of the donation was to put smiles on the faces of the children in the community to use their leisure time indoors as a means of containing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Her irresistible love for children made her buy boxes of expensive playing items, shipped from abroad to distribute to them at Adjen-Kotoku.
These items include toy guns, educational playing materials, footballs, school bags, dolls and mats, among other fascinating items.
During the donation, the physically challenged were not left out, as they were also given crutches to enhance their movement.
Naa Adaiagba underscored the need for positioning children’s educational needs at heart, in order for them to aspire higher and pursue their dreams.
The distinguished Noryaa Manye I used the opportunity to admonish women to desist from staying with men who did not intend marrying them but wanted children from them.
She said it was high time women in such situations stood for their rights and protected their dignity.
Nii Armah III, Sei Tse (Stool Father) of the community reiterated his commitment to deepen ties with Naa Adaiagba in order to facilitate great developmental projects in the community.
He expressed his gratitude to the Development Queen for her enormous contributions to the community and pledged his support to her anytime she visited the community to execute any of her projects.

Veteran Nigerian actor and African screen legend, Pete Edochie, has paid a courtesy call on the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi, during his visit to Ghana.
Edochie is in Ghana to launch the African Legacy Project, which includes a book, documentary film and an African Youth Mentorship Initiative targeting about 500,000 young people across the continent.
Mr. Gyamfi welcomed the opportunity for GoldBod to support the mentorship initiative, noting that it aligns with the Board’s Special Intervention Programme and its focus on social impact and economic empowerment.
GoldBod’s work is also referenced in Pete Edochie’s new book, which highlights Ghana’s efforts to ensure its gold resources contribute to national development.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned Ghanaians seeking employment in Zambia to be cautious of fraudulent job offers that could expose them to human trafficking and forced involvement in cybercrime.
The warning follows the arrest of six Ghanaians in Lusaka, Zambia, during a joint operation by the Zambia Police Service, the Drug Enforcement Commission and the Department of Immigration on August 23, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the operation targeted a facility suspected of being involved in organised cybercrime activities and led to the arrest of 79 people, including 10 Zambians and 69 foreign nationals.
The Ministry said six of the foreign nationals arrested were Ghanaians.
It explained that reports received by the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka indicated that some of those arrested had been recruited through what appeared to be legitimate employment opportunities, including online data entry jobs.
However, the Ministry said some were allegedly forced into online scam activities after their passports were confiscated by their employers.
It warned that the situation highlights how human trafficking groups are using fake employment opportunities to lure unsuspecting job seekers into illegal activities.
The Ministry has therefore advised Ghanaians travelling to Zambia or seeking employment there to thoroughly verify job offers, recruitment agencies and prospective employers before travelling.
Ghanaians living in Zambia have also been urged to remain vigilant when responding to online job opportunities and maintain regular contact with the Ghana High Commission in Lusaka for consular assistance when necessary.
The Ministry said the government remains committed to protecting the welfare and interests of Ghanaians travelling to or living outside the country.
